Mariners Foibles By David Cameron

[I will not copy-paste other authors' content in its entirety. I will not tell Graham to chill out before he's had his morning caffeine when he gives me a warning. I will not whine and bitch at Graham when he moderates my post. I will not edit the mod tags back and and act smug about it. Because that means I will get banned.]

Its so painfuly true. I don't even know what to say, other than I really wish some one in the Mariners front office will read this some day soon.

form letter

I’m voting that we all print out this letter and put it in the mail to the Mariners front office. Just like we would for a politician. It probably won’t change anything, but at least I won’t feel so helpless as an M’s fan. If anyone else feels like joining me, who should we address it to?

Director of Marketing

Gregg Greene
Safeco Field

Seattle, WA 98134

I picked him… and there really isn’t an opportunity cost for my time right now. Although any implications that I may have better, or more important things to do are always appreciated :)

But what about that groundbreaking theorem you were working on?

Agreed.

This is even less effective than internet petitions.

You could write a dissertation presented in a format an 8 year old could understand,

give mountains of hard evidence as to how stupid Chuck Armstrong is, and even go into the future and get Future Chuck Armstrong to tell Present Chuck Armstrong how misguided he is and you still could not get Armstrong to admit he’s wrong.

Or chucking dooks at the game as protest.

Why did you just copy and paste an entire article written by someone else?

Because.....umm....we are all too retarded to find our way to USSM?

That must be it.

Like I said, I didn't know it was posted there. I have problems accessing his site.

by Edgar for Mayor on Jun 14, 2008 11:58 PM PDT up reply actions

I gave credit and didn't even come close to claiming it as my own.

So you can just chill.

Cry me a river

In the future try being both historically and currently less annoying.

by Graham MacAree on Jun 15, 2008 12:13 AM PDT up reply actions

Why is the entire post back?

by BrianL on Jun 15, 2008 12:16 AM PDT up reply actions

Right.

I’ll stop being annoying when you stop being an internet tough guy. Deal?

Wow, fighting moderation now?

I’m just going to ban you for a while

by Graham MacAree on Jun 15, 2008 12:16 AM PDT up reply actions

Fighting is that what we are going to call it?

Cause I certainly don’t consider it fighting.

Graham knows what he is saying

If something is wrong, embrace it and accept it and move on…You’re not achieving anything by doing this, add your own 75 words to your diary and there’s no problem.
